Tom Hanneman, one of the Wolves' commentators, just said that Theo Ratliff is expected to rejoin the team next week in Minneapolis and begin practicing shortly thereafter. He is coming off a surgery to a torn meniscus. No word on when he'd actually begin playing again.

I'll be honest, I didn't anticipate him returning at all, between the team being so terrible, him being so injury prone, and him not being a part of the Wolves' plans and having his next contract to consider (and thus maybe wanting to get healthy to prove to some other team that he can still do it).

I believe that a healthy Foye and healthy Ratliff would have us well out of the league cellar, maybe better than three or four teams.
